After consulting with the customer and our design team, we laid out the options (verbally and with drawings) before deciding on a more cost-effective, two-track heated driveway solution.&nbsp;Ultimately, heating two tire tracks (500 sq.ft.), as opposed to heating the entire 1,250 sq.ft. driveway, resulted in a $3,900 cost savings.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2567\" src=\"http:\/\/www.warmzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/hotnews-heated-driveway-install-1.jpg\" alt=\"Retrofitting asphalt driveway with heated tire tracks-1\" width=\"183\" height=\"166\"\/>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2568\" src=\"http:\/\/www.warmzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/hotnews-heated-driveway-install-2.jpg\" alt=\"Retrofitting asphalt driveway with heated tire tracks-2\" width=\"183\" height=\"169\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Another consideration was the lack of available power. &ldquo;To heat an entire driveway would have required a large number of amps from the home&rsquo;s electrical power panel,&rdquo; Morris stated. &ldquo;Most homes only have a 200 amp panel, yet it takes approximately 180 breaker amps per 1,000 <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_81ae4e987c54b76285cc16c9d62376c8\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">square<\/span> feet to heat an entire driveway.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The two-track radiant heated driveway system required installation of four <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_ce0e1f1fead9edc4e49614c5bc4b15ba\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Warmzone<\/span> <a title=\"ClearZone heated driveways and snow melting systems\" href=\"\/snow-melting\/clearzone\/\">ClearZone snow melting mats<\/a>, a 200-amp <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_ce0e1f1fead9edc4e49614c5bc4b15ba\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Warmzone<\/span> electrical timer panel, an aerial mounted <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_9d02f2deb9eb38ade92dfbc446f7b803\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">moisture<\/span>\/temperature <a title=\"Aerial mount snow sensors\" href=\"\/snow-melting\/aerial-snow-sensor\/\">snow sensor<\/a>, a remote manual control unit and an <span class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_167751004076c8f54950210b2498beb3\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'  tabindex='0' role='link'>NEC<\/span> marker plate.

Heated driveways don&rsquo;t require shoveling, harmful salt and chemical applications or expensive snow removal services. Instead, driveway heating systems provide a safe,&nbsp;thorough snow removal solution with curb appeal, solving snow &nbsp;removal challenges posed by problematic driveways, steps, and other heavy traffic areas.<\/p>\n<p>Heated driveway systems are fully automated, so they will automatically turn on or off when needed. &ldquo;If it snows at 3 a.m.,&rdquo; Morris smiled, &ldquo;our customer will&nbsp;wake up to a clear driveway.
